I keep losing connection to my NAS this happens after a couple hours every day . I cant browse the shares iny My Computer or connect to the Web interface http://mybook/ and it also doesnt show in the WD Discovery Tool it says no Devices was discovered. I can ping the device fine though ??? when this happens the only way i can get it back online is by turning the WD Mybook off/on

I am on the latest firmware and i have turned the Power saving option off but this has not made a difference i have also gave it a static IP and tried DHCP but it still goes offline anyone got any ideas?

I too have a 2TB whitelight Mybook and get connection drops whenever I try to copy a lot of data or even when I connect via putty. I’ve disabled mionet (using steps suggested by others that really stops it) but no success. I haven’t had to reboot though - after a couple of minutes I can access the NAS again.

When I’m connected via SSH using PuTTY, after 15 minutes or so I get a PuTTY Fatal Error dialog “Network error: Software caused connection abort”.
